Radu Munteanu

Welcome to my homepage! I recently got my PhD in Economics from University of California, San Diego where I currently teach as a lecturer in the Department of Economics. Prior to joining UCSD I received a master degree (MA) in Economics from University of Iowa and another MA (with Distinction) in Economics from Central European University, Budapest, Hungary (the first year of studies took place at Essex University, UK).

My main research interests are in the area of technology licensing, quality of inventions and welfare analysis of academic research. My empirical research focuses primarily on the biotech sector but I also work on a theoretical matching model that can be employed in a more general setting of technology diffusion.
